Chapter 181 No More Forcing
"Not much." Xu Yan smiled and turned an intersection. At the end was the village cafeteria.
Many young people from the production teams have already lined up for meals.
"About 10,000 yuan?" This was already Su Wanwan's most conservative estimate.
After all, the two cars were there, so no matter how poor Xu Yan was, he couldn't be that poor.
"About that." Turning his head to look at Su Wanwan, Xu Yan did not leave an exact number. He took a few steps forward and opened the lunch box.
Thinking about this number silently, Su Wanwan nodded involuntarily.
It is indeed an astronomical figure.
Before the 1980s, the value of a household with an annual income of 10,000 yuan was even more valuable than 5 million yuan forty years later.
It can be considered a rare animal.
"Hey, why are you two here today? Are you feeling better from your diarrhea?" Bai Luwei, who was getting food with the other young men, squeezed next to Xu Yan and the others after finishing his meal.
Su Wanwan recalled that when she came to get food yesterday, she told Bai Luwei that Xu Yan had diarrhea...
"Feeling better." As if he knew that this was the excuse Su Wanwan made to Bai Luwei yesterday, there was no shock on Xu Yan's face. After answering him calmly, he closed the lid of the lunch box full of staple food.
Su Wanwan also filled her lunch box with staple food biscuits.
"No, don't you two eat vegetables? Won't you choke after eating so many pancakes?" Bai Luwei didn't quite believe what these two people were doing.
Ever since these two people went to the clinic in Baihua Village, he became more and more confused.
What magical thing was there in the clinic that made both of them suddenly become abnormal?
And Li Meifen, who said she had finished her confinement, but he hadn't seen her in the cafeteria for two days...
"Put down your lunch box and come with us."
Under Bai Luwei's puzzled eyes, Xu Yan suddenly spoke calmly, and Su Wanwan beside him nodded in agreement.
When she was taking the main course, she was thinking whether she should bring Bai Luwei with her to eat at the house where Lanying made the braised meat. Anyway, there were several pots of braised meat made by Lanying and her friends, which would be enough even if they ate as much as they wanted in the next two days.
What's more, Bai Luwei came with them for the exchange. She always felt weird if she didn't bring Bai Luwei along for such a good opportunity.
"Where should I go with you two? I have to go back to the production team to continue working. I can't just sit around in the clinic and get paid like you guys do now."
Bai Luwei held his lunch box with some confusion.
"If you don't want to go, forget it." Xu Yan didn't force her any further. After saying this, he turned around and left quickly.
When Bai Luwei saw Xu Yan's attitude, he was suddenly at a loss for a moment. He looked in the direction of Su Wanwan with confused eyes. He saw Su Wanwan also quickly followed Xu Yan and left. He was afraid that he might have missed something. Bai Luwei coughed twice awkwardly:
"Well... I'm not in such a hurry to work this afternoon... You two wait for me."
She knew that with Bai Luwei's personality, he would definitely follow her out of curiosity. Su Wanwan listened to the footsteps following behind her without even turning her head.
It took the three of them some time to walk from the cafeteria to the vacant room where Lan Ying and others were making braised meat.
When he reached the door, Bai Luwei had already smelled something was wrong. In addition, Su Wanwan and the others had only taken dry food from the cafeteria, so even a fool could guess the connection...
"You won't... nothing will happen..."
As they walked deeper inside, Bai Luwei, who was actually standing at the entrance to the cellar, became dazed.
"Is that... braised meat?"
White Reed asked in a low voice with an uncertain tone.
In front of him, in the center of the cellar, Lan Ying had already placed two large pots of braised meat on a wooden table.
There were also a few opened empty lunch boxes on the side.
The aroma of braised meat passed through the entrance of the cellar and even drifted to the path outside the house.
"Correct."
I thought that only Xu Yan and Su Wanwan were back, but unexpectedly they brought Bai Luwei with them. Lan Ying's heart, which had been slightly relieved, became tense again. She looked behind Su Wanwan and the others uncertainly, and her eyes, which were already a little frightened, were now filled with worry.
Could it be that Su Wanwan and the others were thinking of satisfying everyone’s appetite?
If other young men in the village knew that she was doing these things behind her back, it would probably spread to everyone in the village in less than half a day. After all, Lan Ying had a clear understanding of her own popularity. Although many young men in the village seemed to get along well with her on the surface, she was not unaware of what those young men said about her behind her back.
"You... where did you get so much braised meat?" Bai Luwei rubbed his hands awkwardly, his insecurity written all over his face. In front of Su Wanwan and the others, he slowly went down the ladder into the cellar, and gradually approached the two pots of braised meat on the table that were emitting tempting aromas.
"Can't you just make it yourself?" Su Wanwan followed and walked down from upstairs, stood next to Bai Luwei, and put the lunch box in her hand on the table.
The dry food in her and Xu Yan's lunch boxes was enough for everyone present.
"Cooked it yourself? Then... where did this meat come from?" Bai Luwei was still in shock.
He was born and raised in the village. Ever since he could remember, he seldom had a full meal. Meat was almost non-existent during festivals. Even during the Chinese New Year, he only had a little bit of meat.
When have you ever seen so much meat piled together?
"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. We only brought you here. Aren't you busy working in the afternoon? Go back to the production team after eating, and don't let them suspect you."
Su Wanwan distributed the dry food in the two lunch boxes to everyone. She also took a teacup beside her, poured a spoonful of braised meat into it, and pushed it in front of Bai Luwei: "You can eat the food in your lunch box tonight. Eat the meat first."
Bai Luwei, who had never imagined such a happy moment, slowly raised his hand and almost couldn't hold the chopsticks.
Five people sat around a square wooden table, each holding their own lunch box. Except for Lan Ying, everyone else had a smile on their face.
"Come with me when you're done." After eating two pancakes in a row, Su Wanwan slowly put down her chopsticks and turned to look at Li Meifen.
What Xu Yan said was indeed true. She hadn't eaten meat for several days.
In particular, Wang E's cooking skills were even better than she thought. The pork, which should have been fatty, had a fatty but not greasy taste after being soaked in the marinade she prepared.
No wonder they were sold out so quickly as soon as they were brought to town.
Not knowing what Su Wanwan suddenly asked her to do, Li Meifen put down the lunch box with a cold face and walked out of the door of the cabin with Su Wanwan.
"What do you want me to do?" Li Meifen's voice lacked confidence as she casually grabbed the yellow weeds that were longer than her waist.
"Here's your share of the money. Take it."
Ignoring Li Meifen's cold gaze, Su Wanwan took out a small half of the money that Lan Ying gave her yesterday and handed it to her.
"What are you..."
